In this episode of Pride Matters, Jeff welcomes TJ Murphy, Executive Director of Reel Q to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Pittsburgh’s iconic LGBTQ+ film festival, Reel Q.
Explore how ReelQ has evolved into the 6th oldest queer film festival in the world, bringing together stories from Pittsburgh to Palestine, from VHS to digital, and from activism to outer space (yes, we’re talking “Lesbian Space Princess”).
